Regular Savings Accounts: The Best Currently Available List!

Wail

When setting up your TSB account, how did you set up your first deposit. I cannot transfer and the account is not in the drop down list of accounts to make a standing order to. Do I need to create the accout in the standing order section

I opened the account 48 hours ago

It is not obvious and it is illogical..... but you need to set it up as if your Monthly Saver was was an external, non-TSB, account.

Hi Everybody,

I cannot find anything that has changed for this weekend's update.

I will do another update the weekend after next.

Yes, I opened mine on 1st July too, and I also agree it was the easiest accounts I have ever opened. :j

It was too easy
to open. I clicked on ‘open monthly saver‘ on 30 June for some missing info and instead was allocated an account no. Now I'm stuck with 2%.

just done 2, one for me, one for wife, and set up SO's from dropdown menu from our Instant savers A/cs,within 1 minute each, and received confirmation e-mails.
Good job I was sure.
I didn't realise that clicking Open,, would do it instantly, but it did.
Never set up an A/c so quick.

That worked. Thank you

In case anyone else is still using it, I've just had an email to say the rate on Newcastle BS Big Home Saver issue 2 is dropping from 2% to 1.75% from 26 October.

Expecting the same for issue 1 & probably for issue 3.

Yes, I just got the same, I was still using mine but will now be closing them. It's a shame and I bet quite a few people have had a bad experience of these accounts and Newcastle as this account was trumpeted by MSE in the weekly email when it was a good rate, only for a few days later, perhaps a week, when Newcastle started to slash the rates.

Annoying, yet 1.75% is still the top instant access rate.

Perhaps it's the email that is to blame for the 'bad experience'? No bank/BS can sustain the onslaught of hundreds of thousands for any length of time.
